The ‘Eden’s Garden’ exhibition has finished its run. But its still growing.
Me and Om were invited to the Stride offices in the middle of the country to decorate their reception. They built me a scaffolding thingy… so my Ladder Game is well and truly going up (ha!), fed us pizza and bought us beer. Thank you Stride Creative.

Montana Black is the shit… Beltons are old school. 94s are bluergh.

My very detailed sketch/ shopping list of paint

A couple of words from Malcolm the creative director there…

< P>Bored with a 5 metre x 5 metre plain wall in reception, we set upon a brainstorming session with an open brief of anything is possible!! It wasn’t long before Mal our creative director hit on the idea of a massive graffiti. Four weeks later and hours of searching the underground world of graffiti artists, Stride Creative found East London artists/designers Mister Batlow and Amar Stewart.
The guys have developed a unique style, using vibrant colours, combining black and white imagery. It is a combination that has already earned them a reputation as ones to watch.
The piece that they commissioned for us, used a blend of both their talents, implementing stunning black and white portraits, surrounded by eye catching, swirling and vibrant colours. The centerpiece is a clever use of symbolic imagery associated with both city and country landscapes, encapsulating our link to the South East and London.

We probably have the largest indoor wall art in any reception area!!

Music: ‘Chicken Shake’ by ‘Sterio MCs’.
